The Abbot Point SDA - opportunity awaits

The Abbot Point SDA offers the ideal location for industrial and port-related development that requires a large footprint, proximity to a port and separation from sensitive receptors.

Industries considered suitable for the Abbot Point SDA include:

large-scale, value-adding industrial development

bulk mineral resource unloading and stockpiling facilities

mineral processing

integrated steel mill

liquefied natural gas (LNG) facility

fuel storage and associated infrastructure

extractive industries.

Adjacent to the Abbot Point SDA is the Port of Abbot Point; one of Queensland's priority ports. The Port of Abbot Point currently has a coal export capacity of 50 million tonnes per annum. It comprises rail in-loading facilities, coal handling and stockpiling areas and a single trestle jetty and conveyor connecting to two offshore berths and two ship-loaders which are located 2.8km offshore.
